<h1><a name="SECTION0022300000000000000000">
20.3 <tt class="module">ScrolledText</tt> --
         Scrolled Text Widget</a>
</h1>

<p>
<a name="module-ScrolledText"></a>   
<p class="availability">Availability: <span
 class="platform">Tk</span>.</p>

<p>
The <tt class="module">ScrolledText</tt> module provides a class of the same name
which implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar
configured to do the ``right thing.''  Using the <tt class="class">ScrolledText</tt>
class is a lot easier than setting up a text widget and scroll bar
directly.  The constructor is the same as that of the
<tt class="class">Tkinter.Text</tt> class.

<p>
The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a <tt class="class">Frame</tt>,
and the methods of the <tt class="class">Grid</tt> and <tt class="class">Pack</tt> geometry managers
are acquired from the <tt class="class">Frame</tt> object.  This allows the
<tt class="class">ScrolledText</tt> widget to be used directly to achieve most normal
geometry management behavior.

<p>
Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes
are available:

<p>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-4748' xml:id='l2h-4748' class="member">frame</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
  The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
</dl>

<p>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-4749' xml:id='l2h-4749' class="member">vbar</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
  The scroll bar widget.
</dl>
